Happiness Forgets sounds a great bar because they say ‘no wallies’. Unfortunately it’s down approximately 12 stairs so difficult disabled access and no disabled toilet. But I’m going to attempt it with 2 Lieutenants. I’ll report back! Due to this it gets a provisional 1.5BBS Ticks but high on ‘Style’.
Bistrot Bruno Loubet is a modern french Bistrot within the Zetter Hotel which if you read my previous post I gave the hotel 3BBS Ticks. I haven’t dined there yet but given that Bruno Loubet has worked for some of the best chefs in the world I expect it to be good if not sensational?! I do…
The Claude Bosi Oyster Bar is worthy of a separate entry to that of Bibendum building, Restaurant just because it’s a great place to go if you’re out shopping or just want to be ‘trendy’ in Brompton Cross. You can’t book you have to queue for a table but it’s worth it as the seafood…
I went to Bibendum (named after the Michelin man), a while ago when I walked with sticks so I’ve had to call about wheelchair access. It has always served good food and is above The Conran Shop in Fulham/Chelsea/knightsbridge i.e. it’s on the corners of each locality, in the area known as Brompton Cross. It is…
I visited Sanctum Soho Hotel when I went to their disabled toilet after lunch at Nopi next door (see previous post). By the way it didn’t have enough bars and was accessed via a lift and after a large chair was removed. I since asked them to fill in an accessibility audit form and this…
Bumpkin I have been told by Lieutenant No1 and The American Lieutenant are worth a visit. Owned by the same group that owns one of my favourite bars – Bar Eclipse – I will definitely be trying them soon. There are 3 Bumpkin Westfield Stratford City, Bumpkin South Kensington and Bumpkin Notting Hill. They all…
I haven’t been to either Bar Prague (there’s one at Angel, Islington and one in Shoreditch, Hackney), but I did eventually get them on the phone . They are bars that serve ‘Traditional Czech bar snacks’ all day. Both are described as ‘bohemian’ and display local artist’s work. Both I’m assured have disabled access as…
The Shaftesbury is a Youngs pub between kew and Richmond. I’ve put this on my list as they have just refurbished and have made a good job of access and facilities. The food was OK and it’s a bit formulaic and there is a courtyard/garden. The Shaftesbury gets 1.5 BBS Ticks
Bentley’s is a favourite place as it has a lively atmosphere and as you would expect from a Richard Corrigan venue, excellent food. I don’t like oysters but the smoked salmon is exceptional as is the rest of the menu. It is very much a bar but there are tables to sit at and there…
